| 1351 | The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to First Lieutenant (Air Service) John R. Castleman, United States Army Air Service, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 99th Aero Squadron, U.S. Army Air Service, A.E.F., near Romagne, France, 5 October 1918. In spite of being attacked by seven enemy planes, type Fokker, and later by five type Pfalz, Lieutenant Castleman successfully accomplished a photographic mission 6 kilometers behind the German lines, without protection, and also destroyed two of the enemy planes. | Castleman, John Rolfe (I9073)

| 1353 | There's a new light on Wildwood Street. Actually, it's a restoration of an old light. The light is at the first en-trance to Wildwood Ceme-te-ry, at a gate originally bought by Dr. Mrs. France Hiller in the 1890s. Dr. Hiller, Wilming-ton's famed "Casket Woman" provided for many improvements and expansion at the cemetery. She had long had a fixation with death, and the money to make elaborate funeral prep-arations. In the 1880s, she hired a Scottish woodcarver to prepare elaborate mahogany coffins for her and her husband. Dr. Henry Hiller, though, died before his outer coffin was ready. The coffin maker worked in a building on Middlesex Ave-nue. Dr. Mrs. Hiller would go there in her funeral clothes and lie in her coffin, looking at herself in a mirror. The Hillers had moved to Wil-mington from Cape Cod about 1875. Dr. Henry Hiller sold a patent medicine and be-came quite wealthy. He served the town as auditor of ac-counts in 1877, and again in the mid 1880s. He was a li-brary trustee in the late 1870s. When the town started a ce-metery committee, he was elected to that in 1886. He died on Nov. 5, 1888, but was still listed on the committee in the 1889 town report. In 1890, Mrs. Hiller became the first woman to hold town town office, taking her late husband's seat on the Ceme-tery Committee. She served one term, until 1893. In 1892, the widow Dr. France Hiller married her young coach-man, Pierre Surrette. She had him change his name to Henry Hiller. She died in 1900, and he outlived her by more than a half-century. For the rest of his life, he was the caretaker of the Hiller plot in the cemetery. For many years, he hired watchmen to guard the tomb. The town's early burial ground, next to the Congre-gational Church served the town until shortly before 1800. The first section of the present Wildwood Cemetery is di-rectly opposite the old burial ground. The tombstones there include several Revolutionary War veterans. The cemetery gradually expanded as needed. Mrs. Hiller undertook a great expansion about 1890, buying land out to Wildwood Street. At the cemetery entrance on Wildwood Street, there is a low stone wall with two granite gateposts. Next to the en-trance is an iron pole which at one time had a light. Not much is known about that light, but if it was an electric light installed before Dr. Mrs. Hiller's death in 1900, it may have been powered through a connection to the trolley car wires that once ran along Wildwood Street. Wilmington did not have AC power lines until 1911. For many decades, there was a light on the pole. At some point, the light stopped working and was removed, possibly after the street car line stopped running. The pole is very near the urns marking the graves of the Hillers. The Hiller caskets were first entombed in a large burial mound which Mrs. Hiller had built near the en-trance. However, by the 1930s, the tomb had begun to leak so the mound was leveled and the coffins were buried. The new light is powered a solar panel. It was installed by Bob Mallett, a member of the Wilmington Historical Com-mission. The Hiller story has drawn new attention with a story that someone reported seeing a ghost in the Market Basket store at Wilmington Plaza. The story has "gone viral," with people thronging to the store. This led to a front page story in the Boston Globe 10 days ago, with many old images from the Globe files and one photo of a casket from the Town Crier files. How anyone made a connection to the Hiller story is a mystery itself. Reports of a Hiller ghost have been as elusive as a ghost in the 119 years since her death. Now there is a lamp on the pole, which may shed new light on the story. | Surette, Pierre (I9529)

| 1356 | This information is from an account written by Marjorie Iantha Nelson Woodham. "Grandpa Nelson was a average size man and such a good man. He never drank, use tobacco in anyway, or any foul language. He was easy going but distant to a certain degree. I never felt real close to him. I grew up on the farm owned by my grandfather Henry Nelson, he bought it from his father-in-law, John D. and Leona Crownover May." There is a notation in the Woodham notes that states, "Henry came to Texas in 1880." | Nelson, Henry Carrol (I7862)

| 1359 | This story begins in 1932 when James Edwin Russell, Jr. was born in Mauldin, Massachusetts on August 3rd to parents James Edwin Russell and Mabel Veale Russell. He lived a long and happy life for almost 83 years and left to meet his Lord on February, 28th, 2015. Highlights of his life are too numerous to completely list but include an Eagle Scout ranking, flying solo while in the Air Force, a 42-year career in Education, a 29 year marriage, raising two kids and a lifelong love of beagles. His family returned to their home in Floresville, TX where Jim was raised and graduated from high school in 1949. He received his B.A. from Baylor University in 1955 and then his Masters of Education degree in 1957. After that, he served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force in Merced, CA. He began his teaching career in Temple, TX in 1960 teaching science and math. He married Bonnie Frances Miller in 1961 and moved to Austin in 1962 where he taught science at Fulmore Junior High. He furthered his career into school administration as Assistant Principal of Brownfield High School in 1965 and then Principal of Brownfield Junior High School. In 1968, he moved to Austin and later to New Braunfels in 1970 as Assistant Superintendent of Comal Independent School District. During this time, he further studied and received his PhD in School Administration from the University of Texas at Austin in 1972. Jim continued as Assistant Superintendent at C.I.S.D. until 1983 when he accepted a new position as Assistant Superintendent of Personnel at Hays Consolidated Independent School District. Moving with his family to Buda at that time, he continued there until his retirement in 1994. During "retirement" he worked seasonally for the I.R.S. for ten years. Jim was an active person who enjoyed basketball, tennis, water skiing, snow skiing, scuba diving, bowling, and many other activities. Jim also enjoyed music and sang throughout his life with church choirs, barbershop groups, and his gospel quintet. He was an active member of the First Baptist Churches in New Braunfels, Manchaca, and later at Allandale Baptist. Jim is survived by his son, James Lawrence Russell (Jimmy) and wife Tamara; by his daughter Laurie Frances Garrant and her husband Tony; by his sisters Jeanne Ruhmann and Karen Ewing and their families; and by numerous nephews, nieces, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother-in-law Ed Ruhmann, nephew Paul Ruhmann, and brother-in-law Paul Miller. | Russell, James Edwin Jr. (I15392)

| 1360 | Thomas Graham Carter, born in Aurora, Ill., on July 27, 1948, died at home in La Vernia, Texas, on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2007. Tom was raised in a military family who moved many times before he graduated from Killeen High School in 1966. Their homes after Aurora included North Carolina, Japan, Oklahoma, Germany, Missouri, and Texas. It may have been these early experiences that instilled in Tom a great love of travel and meeting new people from around the world. Tom graduated from Texas Tech in 1970 and began his work at AT&T. He received an MBA from the University of Texas at San Antonio and completed graduate level classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Tom served as an adjunct professor at Washington University's School of Applied Engineering and Technology for five years. During his 35 years in the telecommunications industry, he most enjoyed consulting with international companies in South Africa, Asia, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Tom retired from AT&T July 15, 2006. He was an active member of the Downtown San Antonio Rotary Club. For many years, he coordinated the international exchange of delegations of business people. He applied the Rotary motto to all aspects of his life: "Is it fair? Is it the truth? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all?" Tom was also on the board of directors of the San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind. His favorite recreational pastime was fishing at the coast for redfish or for bass at his family ranch in Karnes County. He truly enjoyed life and spending time with his family and friends. He was always "charging right along!" He was preceded in death by his father, Cloud Carter. Tom is survived by his wife, Sue Butler Carter, and their sons, Michael Graham Carter and Ryan Livingston Carter. He is also survived by his mother, Margaret Carter; stepmother, Mary Carter; his brother, Robert Carter and wife Sherrie; his sister, Mary Robideaux and husband Vance, along with their daughters, Ann and Susan and her husband, Chris Graham; his sister, Jean Snavely and husband Jim, and their son, Kyle. | Carter, Thomas Graham (I4567)

He was a hard working, blue collar Philadelphian who loved his Phillies and Eagles. Pop was a man of faith and a lifelong member of St. Anne's Parish. His working career ranged from delivering newspapers to working his way up to become President of International Paperworkers Union Local 375 in Philadelphia, PA. While his formal education ended early, he had street smarts, was not afraid of hard work, had exceptional people skills and he kept up with current events by reading the paper daily. Tim's perfect day consisted of sipping a hot cup of coffee under his big tree at his home in Villas, NJ, and taking a short drive to the Ferry Park. Then a nap in the afternoon followed by manning the grill for a barbecue with the kids and grandkids, while sipping a cold beer. That perfect day ended at the Villas Fishing club, where he was a lifetime member, enjoying a few Manhattans, or beers, listening to music and having good conversation with family and friends. All the while, a smile upon his face. | Cunningham, Thomas John (I7714)

| 1365 | Top of Form 1 Bottom of Form 1 This site is dedicated to the memory of PATRICK BARNABY 'SONNY' BURKE Dec 4, 1948 - Sept 23, 2004 In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story. For Patrick 'Sonny' Burke, doing the genealogy of each and every family that originated in L?Ardoise, Nova Scotia, was both a battle and an adventure. His work was not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. In his own words... ?I developed [and still have] an uncontrollable desire and need to leave for my children, a road map to their past.? In doing so, Patrick has left all of us a road map to our past. All tribes have a story teller and he is one of best. His work brought us pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. His research gave us respect for their hardships and losses, for their determination, and for their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their families. His ten years of work, beginning in 1993, showed us their deep pride and how they fought to make and keep us a people. By doing all this he taught us that we must remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, he carried on their memory because he knew we are they and they are us. So, as a called scribe, he told the story of our families with great dedication and with great generosity, and we place this tribute here for all to read and hopefully some of you will emulate a great story teller. From all of us ?Thank you Patrick?.

| 1377 | Vernie Lawrence Bowen 1942 - 2023 Our loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather, better known as Poppy, Vernie Bowen of Arichat, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish on September 25, 2023, at the age of 81. Born May 16, 1942, in Arichat, Vernie was the son of the late Hilary and Kathleen (Latimer) Bowen. If you sat with Vernie for an afternoon, your belly would be sore from laughter from his quick wit and stories of his early days growing up in the Arichat Court House. Being the son of the jail keeper and cook came with its perks when going to jail for terrorizing the town with his many friends meant he was just being "brought home". Vernie was a carpenter for his entire career building and repairing many homes from Sydney to Arichat. After retirement, he and his wife Catherine loved to spend their summers camping at Whiddens or watching their grandkids enjoy their pool. The highlight of his more recent days was watching the growth of his first great-grandchild, his "little man". Dad is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Catherine Georgina (Joyce), Arichat; daughters Brenda Bowen, Arichat, Debbie (Blaise) Sampson, St. Peter's, and Kim (Marcel) Heudes, Petit de Grat; son Vernon (Nicole), Halifax, son-in-law Craig Benoit, Arichat; grandchildren Wayne (Kaysha), St. Peter's, Brittany (Jordan), Arichat, Tyler (Jennifer), Dartmouth, Hillary (Nick), Halifax; and great-grandson William David, Arichat; sister Marie DeWolf, Arichat, sisters-in-law Susan, Jeanne, Barbara, Irene (Peter), Matilda (Robert). He is also survived by many neices and nephews. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his cherished daughter Beverly, brother George, and brothers-in-law Johnny, Blaise, Jerry, and Bobby. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Laurie MacNeil for his many years of care, to the local home care workers who made his mornings brighter, and to the palliative care workers at St. Martha's for their compassionate care in his final days. Please consider a donation to St. Anne's Community & Nursing Care Center or St. Martha's Palliative Care Society. Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation. A small family graveside service will be held in St. John Anglican Cemetery in Arichat on October 21st at 11am with Rev. John DeCoste officiating. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to C.H.

| 1388 | Was killed by an explosion at a quarry by a 150lb rock. Never lived in the US https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/186485593/harvey-bourque Kentville, Oct. 14--Struck by a stone hurled by a dynamite blast 650 feet from where he was standing, Harvey Bourque of D'Escousse, Cape Breton, was injured so badly that he died in the Wolfville hospital tonight. The accident occurred this afternoon at the Avon River Power Company's development at Forest Home. Bourque had his back turned toward the impending blast and did not see the single stone that was hurled in his way when the explosion went off. It struck him square in the back hurling him a distance of 15 feet from where he was standing. At first it was not thought that Bourque was seriously injured, although he was unconscious for a short time. Called to the scene of the accident, Dr. V.D. Schaffner of Kentville, ordered the injured man removed to the hospital in Wolfville where he was given a thorough examination. His condition appeared satisfactory until later in the evening when he took a bad turn and passed away about 9:30 o'clock. It is believed his spine was fractured by the blow. An inquest into Bourque's death will be held today. | Bourke, Harvey (I560)

| 1389 | Was killed in the Clover Bottom Massacre near Nashville An earlier column mentioned the Gower family. Ralph Winters wrote that this family "possibly made the greatest sacrifice of any of the earliest settlers of Tennessee." Winters is the author of "Historical Sketches ? Adams (in) Robertson County and Port Royal (in) Montgomery County Tennessee 1779 ? 1968." Included in the book is information about many of the families in the area, information provided by the families themselves. The Gowers are one of these families. Gowers were with groups traveling with James Robertson and John Donelson. Robertson's overland group arrived in the area that is now Nashville on December 24, 1779. Donelson went by boat and arrived on April 24, 1780. Abel Gower, his wife, five sons, and four daughters were in this initial "migration." One son was killed on the way. In the summer of 1780, a petition was sent to North Carolina asking for protection for the new settlement. Abel Gower, Russell Gower, and Abel Gower, Jr., signed the petition. In the fall that year, a group went to the mouth of Stone's River to harvest the corn and bring it back to the settlers. Indians attacked the boats on the journey. Both Abel Gower and Abel Gower, Jr., were killed. The three surviving Gower brothers ? Russell, Elisha, and William ? settled west of Nashville. Russell settled on an island in the Cumberland. The site of Gower's Island was in today's Cheatham County, a bit west of the Davidson County line. Elisha Gower settled north of the Cumberland on "Sulphur Creek." William settled on the south side of the river near Gower's Island. It is interesting to note that William Gower married Charlotte Reeves, a niece of James Robertson's wife. In 1801, all three Gower men were converted to Methodism. All three became Methodist preachers. Elisha served for forty years. William served until he died in 1851. For forty years the home of William Gower was a meeting house. Methodism was so strongly entrenched in the Gower family that a particular note was made in a sketch by G.V. Frey that "one of Russell's sons is now a Baptist preacher.' This was Wilson L. Gower, an active minister in the Freewill Baptist Church for fifty years. The list of churches that he organized reads "Heads, Charity, Mt. Zion, Good Springs, Bethlehem, Liberty, Rock Springs." Wilson Gower had married Charlotte Baird in 1812. Goodspeed says that he was also in the War of 1812. Their son was James W. Gower, born in 1821. He married Amelia (Milly) Head on November 16, 1841. Their family lived on a farm on Miller's Creek near Sandy Springs here in Robertson County. Their farm had belonged to Caleb Winters. It was sold to James W. Gower in 1855. A list of the children of James and Milly Gower show that they married into some of the most steadfast families of the county ? Murphey, Woodruff, Frey, Gray, Elliott, White, Nichols, and Lawrence. | Gower, Able (I3736)

| 1393 | Was owner of Joann's Piano Bar in Chicago When Louie Jacobone met Joann Greakas, he promised to put her name in lights. For the next 30 years, black-and-white "Joann" signs radiated from their piano bar. While Ms. Greakas mixed drinks, Jacobone played piano as customers crooned "My Kind of Town," "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and hundreds of other tunes. Ms. Greakas welcomed all inside Joann's, but when necessary she showed unruly customers the door. "She could be a lady, but, boy, she could cuss too," Jacobone said. Ms. Greakas, 71, died of a brain tumor Tuesday, July 24, in Alden Lakeland Rehabilitation and Health Care Center. Born in Pennsylvania, Ms. Greakas was a child when she came to Chicago with her parents and sister. Her parents died soon after, and she was raised by an aunt. She was 16 when she joined a traveling carnival, working carnival games in the Midwest and South. By age 18 she was back in Chicago selling cigarettes at the Edgewater Beach Hotel and working as a waitress at various restaurants, including the George Diamond Steakhouse. She was working at the Little Corporal when she met Jacobone around 1965. He became her life partner. They set up their first singalong piano bar with their signature speakeasy decor at State and Erie Streets during the blizzard of 1967. A decade later they sold the place but took the Tiffany lamps, antique pictures and beaded curtains to their second location, at Superior and Wells Streets. Her days began at 3 p.m. and ended many hours later, when the bar closed at 2 a.m., later on weekends. "Joann did the business end; Louie was the entertainer," said her cousin Pat Polerecky. "She was the perfect host: tough, amiable and cordial." They moved Joann's for the final time in 1989 to Chicago Avenue and Clark Street, closing in the mid-1990s with Jacobone singing "The Party's Over." "She was a lot of fun," Jacobone said. Her favorite song, he said, was "You Made Me Love You." Other survivors include a sister, Dolores Ulleberg, and five cousins. Services have been held. | Greakas, Joann (I115)
